New Polls: Obama +9 in PA and +6 in MI

[WI_DEM]

A new Glengariff Group poll in Michigan shows President Obama leading Mitt Romney in his his native state by six points, 48% to 42%.

A new Morning Call/Muhlenberg College poll in Pennsylvania shows President Obama continuing his lead over Mitt Romney among likely voters, 49% to 40%.

Notably, Obama maintains that lead despite weak job approval -- 47% disapprove of the job he's doing in the White House, compared to 43% who approve.

Said pollster Chris Borick: "Nine points is a very good place to be going in to the conventions. And this comes despite very mediocre reviews of his performance among likely voters and personal favorability numbers that aren't as strong as they used to be. Pennsylvania voters are by no means thrilled with what they see from President Obama, but they are unimpressed with alternative, which is Mitt Romney."

1. This is good news, but...

we need to be out there working like we're 10 points down. Especially given voter suppression tactics!

5. So voter suppression puts Obama down by 2-3 in each? Probably.

900,000 voters in PA disenfranchised/suppressed.
